To zero in on music now – that is Saskia Lankhoorn’s aim. It is her programming that will shape festival Dag in de Branding for two seasons, and she certainly realizes her ambition in this edition.
It promises to be a festival full of premieres, written by composers from all corners of the world. Saskia has chosen pieces with contemporary themes and crossovers with theatre, which are often given an extra dimension through live electronics. She is even taking the audience to a new location, a power plant (Electriciteitsfabriek), which is a rugged yet poetic spot that has quickly become the darling of Hague-based artists.
